Love you Grandma,
Some of my favorite memories involve blackberry picking, snapping green beans, and clamming on the Oregon coast. I'm so happy Grandpa and you are together again .
You will forever be my Grandma Mouse-ears.
Love, Shelby

Still feeling the sadness of knowing you are gone. You were by far the strongest person I have ever known. I will carry on your memory and tell my children and grandchildren stories of what a amazing woman you were. Love you forever and miss you for always, your loving daughter, Nancy♡
